The answer

If the heirs are limited to the husband, daughters, and full siblings, the division of the inheritance begins by giving the husband one-fourth due to the existence of a lineal descendant (daughters). The daughters receive two-thirds, based on the Almighty's saying: "But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two thirds of what he left." The remainder is then divided among the full brother and two full sisters by 'asabah (residuarily), with the male receiving the share of two females. The matter must be referred to the Sharia courts for investigation and to ensure there are no wills, debts, or other heirs.
